I had been relatively quiet on line, as I had been prepping for an important interview. It was great to be back in the city, for all its congestion and constant construction it just feels like the center of things.
I went in very well prepared and had even been working with an interview coach to ensure I was on top of my game. I brought along a portfolio of past marketing campaigns and some other published work. It was a difficult panel style interview though the director did most of the talking. A couple of put the interviewee on the spot type questions asking for critiques of current and proposed advertising campaigns.
An hour flew by but I didn’t get the warm fuzzies on leaving and was quite down on the train ride back to the suburbs. Passing was not an issue as the position was with an LGBT focused publishing company.
Sometimes it's hard to get a reading on how well you did. There have been plenty of times that I didn't have "warm fuzzies" but received "the call". Don't fret, lady - if it's meant for you, it will come.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you get some feedback from the interview. Hopefully you'll find something real soon.
ReplyDeleteHi sis,
ReplyDeleteI know how long and hard you worked to prepare. You did everything you possibly could have to be ready. The responsibility for their confusion over what they want, and for their seeming lack of basic interviewing skills, falls on them, not you.
Assuming they do not ask you back (and they may well *ask* you back, btw), the time and effort you put in will serve you well when another, better opportunity comes along. I guarantee it. It is simply a matter of time.
I am so proud of how you conducted yourself yesterday. I hope you are as well, hon.
Keep the faith, sis! :c) Love ya!
Mega hugs,
Cass
